It's very unlikely you can arrange a service from FL similar to Motorcycle Express from Canada (which loads bike as cargo on your passenger flight).
BUT, you should be able to arrange airfreight or seafreight of bike from Miami to UK + separate passenger flight Miami to UK. This will be more 'complicated' and probably more expensive than Motorcycle Express because you have to do the separate cargo & passenger arrangements yourself.
Arrange bike seafreight or airfreight first. Miami has lots of international cargo broker/ agents. One Miami agent that some HUBB members use/ recommend is Econocaribe Consolidators, Inc.. Try them first; if they can't do it, just do a Google search on "Miami international freight forwarders."
Another option is MotorbikeTransport, which may still have space on his once-per-year containerload seafreight bike shipment Orlando FL to Heidelberg Germany leaving MARCH 09 (3 weeks) this year.
Book a separate return passenger flight after you've made bike cargo arrangements.
Do not try to sell your beloved GS in the US (assuming the GS is UK-registry), i.e., do not sell to a US customer, because a UK-registry GS cannot be re-registered 'permanently' in the US. If you going to sell it in the US, it would have to be to another Brit, who intended to finally re-export the bike from the US.
good luck
